The Positives and Negatives of Window Grilles

February 4, 2016

Window
grillesare an often underappreciated part
of your home’s windows. They provide you the flexibility to
meet both contemporary and traditional design wishes, and with
the number of styles and colors offered, you can find a combination to fulfill
whatever your heart desires.

Positives:

Removable
between-the-glass grilles easily snap in and out so you are able to switch styles whenever you update your
home or change styles or paint.

Regardless of the window grilles you go
with, there are a few color choices to meet
your design requirements.

Grille options are available today with dual or
triple pane insulated glass to offer more energy
efficient options than historical grilles used with
single-pane glass.

Between-the-glass grilles and removeable grilles
are available to make it easier to clean the glass.

Now
that we’ve taken a look at a couple
positives of window grilles, let’s check out the
challenges that may come with window grilles.

Negatives:

While there are a variety of
designs out there, some homeowners feel that a
few grille styles can inhibit their
view of the yard.

Many window grilles are permanent once
installed, limiting design flexibility in the future.

If grilles are bonded permanently to the surface
of the glass that needs to be cleaned, cleaning can be more of a headache.

Replacement windows that showcase
grilles are usually more expensive
than those that don’t feature grilles.

Whether
you’re moving and need to purchase replacement windows or you’re
simply looking for your current home, window
grilles may be a great add-on to your
next set of windows. There are a number of things to ponder, from style to color choice, but with a little help from our team,
